"I don't approve of that": Tom Brady on A'ja Wilson possibly recreating his iconic trophy throw off a yacht

Tom Brady doesn't think anyone should do a trophy throw on a yacht again.

After Brady won the Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021, the team did a parade on yachts. Brady was on his own yacht when teammates wanted the trophy, so he threw it over the water.

Many criticized Brady, as the Lombardi Trophy could have fallen into the ocean, but being the elite QB that he was, he landed the pass perfectly.

The Las Vegas Aces are in the WNBA finals, and Brady had A'ja Wilson as a guest on his "Brady's Let's Go!" podcast. The incident was brought up as both are sponsored by Casamigos. Brady claimed he only threw the trophy because of the tequila that day.

"Don't do that, I don't approve of it at all," Brady said.

"It was golden, though. You gave the people what they wanted," Wilson said.

Brady replied:

"I look back and say, 'What the hell?'. Anyway, actually, go ahead and do it, have some fun."

The trophy throw was something fun for fans, but as Brady said, it is risky and something he wouldn't approve of. But, after Wilson said she enjoyed the throw, the longtime NFL quarterback told the WNBA player she could recreate it and have some fun.

Currently, the Aces are set to kick off the WNBA Finals on Sunday, Oct. 8, as Las Vegas takes on the New York Liberty.
